MOOSE is built on libMesh (<a href="http://libmesh.sourceforge.net">http://libmesh.sourceforge.net</a>) and PETSc and provides a pluggable, modular interface facilitating the rapid development of complex multiphysics analysis tools. MOOSE is at the center of an evolving ecosystem of multiphysics analysis tools that do everything from microstructure modeling of nuclear fuel to groundwater migration and chemical transport analysis.</div>

Our user-base has been rapidly increasing over the last couple of years and it's become apparent that it's time to add a few people to the team! We are a close-knit team working in a high-impact, fast-paced environment. We're looking for self-motivated people who are going to mesh well with the team. This position provides many opportunities including travel to conferences and plenty of time for writing research journal articles. This is a _staff_ position... _not_ a post-doc or temporary position.</div>
